Dazzling lights at the Riverside Mission Inn

1

Currently ablaze with 3.6 million lights in a Christmas wonderland, the Historic Mission Inn’s history and architecture make a visit a must for anyone visiting California’s Inland Empire. There’s still time to go, the Festival of Lights runs until January 8, 2012!
The Historic Mission Inn Hotel and Spa, a National Historic Landmark, is about an hour’s drive east of Los Angeles in Riverside.

The annual Festival of Lights in its 19th year beckons thousands of families to enjoy the display of multi-colored bulbs. Disney-like animated elves, angels, nutcrackers and other figures complement costumed carolers, falling snow (weekends) and fireworks.
